Über das bekannte Mosaik aus Pompeji (Schlacht von Issos) soll den Schülern das bereits auf Deutsch behandelte Thema wieder ins Gedächtnis gerufen werden. Gleichzeitig dient das Bild als Sprechanlass zum
Abrufen des Vorwissens. Bei lernschwächeren Klassen wäre es denkbar, hier bereits einige Vokabeln vorzuentlasten.

Ziele:
à Erarbeitung des nötigen Kartenvokabulars;
à Arbeit mit der Maßstabsleiste und der Legende.
Hinweise: „to found - gründen“ sollte vorgegeben werden; die Schüler sollten auf die englische Schreibweise
1.6 (statt 1,6) hingewiesen werden.
3.
Kartenarbeit 2
Die Schüler sollen anhand der Kartenangaben und denen des Textes die Ereignisse des Alexanderzuges in
die richtige Reihenfolge bringen (eventuell können hier Punkte wegelassen werden)
4.
Word Search:
Erarbeitung von für den bilingualen Geschichtsunterricht der 7. Klasse relevanter Vokabeln anhand einer
Wortsuche (entweder vor oder nach Punkt 3 einsetzbar)
5.
Auswendiglernen eines Dialoges zum Thema, in dem die neuen Wörter angewendet werden. (Coenus war
tatsächlich der General, der Alexander als erster zum Rückzug aufforderte - der Rest stammt vom Verfasser). Falls vorhanden könnte hierzu ein Ausschnitt des Films „Alexander“ (USA 2004, Regie Oliver Stone)
gezeigt werden, in dem ebenfalls das Gespräch des Coenus mit Alexander dargestellt wird.

In the battle of Hydapes 326

Ganges and conquer India. He
wanted to be the ruler of the

Alexander, your empire is bigger than all the empires before. Why do you
want to fight another battle?
